It was midnight and all was calm everywhere Amid mysterious twinklings alit in the air When suddenly a chime was heard... Ding-A-ling Ding-A-ling the clock bell rings At stroke of twelve time froze still While teddies pranced about in thrill A special moment treasured in time As teddies rejoyce and breathe new life Freely playing and dancing in pirouettes While lil browneyes in dreams she slept The teddies in unison strolled across wooden floor Dressed in charmed outfits for a merry show Promenading on their tippi-beartoes... Clickety Hippity Bop Bumpity Jippity Hop Just as they approach a corner in room Pearing out of a hole a grey mouse hidden in view With snout of whiskers excited in flutter Unannounced he joined in among the others Soon all were engaged in this promenade play Until suddenly mommy bear let out a scream "eek-eek a mouse I see at rear"... So the teddies ran off to a safe retreat Back onto a shelf or hidden beneath sheets Amidst the scurry baby bear remained "tee-hee" she giggled while smiling happily "A lil grey mouse has come to play with me"... Just then the clock struck half past twelve Ding-A-Ling Ding-A-Ling the chime bell rang At that moment all the teddies stood still They couldn't giggle in their playfullness Nor wiggle a hair on their furry bear chests Left alone there on the wooden bare floor Was lil grey mouse scampering for home Back into the hole for tomorrow he goes Until lil one awakens at dawn of morn When the dream of last night twinkles in brown Seen glimmering in baby bear's button-like eyes *~coco~*  [This message has been edited by CocoBaci (edited 01-23-2001).] |

Mistletoe, your response warms my heart PoetFriend, and I thank you 'bearry' much for your sweet reply... Melissa, I'm tickled 'bearry brown' that you enjoyed this treasured tale in rhyme... Ya know I too am an avid collector of bears and so I have shared my furry collection of paws with my lil browneyed one and she gets to appreciate them as well as I continue to do... Marge, in all honesty I was kind of reluctant to post this but I went ahead and did my best and at the end I thought to myself that my lil one would cherish this and now I read that you have too and this brings much joy to me my friend I 'bearry' much thank you...

Yeppers...........a classic this one will be. Now you have to promise to do what you can about getting this one published my friend. I don't think you will find much resistance on that matter from any publisher. This is an amazing write and WILL go into my library and will hopefull one day be read to my grandchildren....that is IF I ever have any. Don't want any yet though....LOL SUPERB PENNING.......ALL THE WAY!!!!!!! If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

Coco~ this was one of the most adorable things I've read in a real long time. When I was a kid, I used to pretend all my stuffed animals were real only they couldn't tell me lol. And when I would go to sleep at night, they would wake up and have a "party" thanks so much for helping me relive some of my childhood. this brought a huge smile to my face. take care ~amy~ "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

Elizabeth, your comments have touched my heart and I can't wait to tell my daughter that you too have enjoyed this poem... I've read to her over the holidays some of your Christmas poems and together we've drawn some artwork in theme with your eloquent words so she is 'bearry' much acquainted with you and your poetry you've shared during the months I have been here... Sunshine, with pleasure sweetie, it's meant for the lil ones to read and should the adult find it a treat then I'm double happy for bringing the magic of a little girl's dream into a home on any an eve... And I thank you my friend for this gracious compliment... VAS, ya know what that one just popped outta my head and I must confess that's one of my favorite wordings here 'tippi-beartoes'... Thank you for taking the time to read the poem... Charisma, my goodness you brought me a Geddes bear such a sweet treat to see in image and I thank you hun for the thrill in your response makes me smile... I'm 'bearry' glad you enjoyed this poem... Mark, sweetPoetFriend, you are much too kind and I truly appreciate your enthusiasm... and I'm elated with joy in all honesty that you have found this a treasure to read coming from a Poet like you I take your comments straight to my heart... Aimster, I'm happy to see you stopped by to read this as I thought you might appreciate this poem and as for your reply it brings me smiles to bring a friend back to a sweet time of remembering although ya know it was not my intention at start but like you I also got caught up in the remembering and I guess that's how it ended up being written kinda lengthy BearHugs2UmyPoetFriends *~coco~* [This message has been edited by CocoBaci (edited 01-23-2001).] |

This was just too adorable. Didn't we all dream our teddy bears danced while we slept as children? "Hearts will become practical when they make them unbreakable" ~The Wizard of Oz Much love all, Krissie |
